Book Cover & Preview Text
We learned a lot about basic household chemistry. We began to feel empowered and questioned the myth that was set forth by Madison Avenue–and began a journey of self-education and self-reliance. We broke away from the bondage of needing what the ad agencies told us we needed. As a result, we began removing toxic chemicals from our home environment and we began seeing noticeable changes within our family’s health. We decided if we couldn’t pronounce an ingredient on a label, it didn’t belong in our homes. We have easily removed unwanted chemicals from our homes and the air we breathe. Best of all–the money savings is incredible! We have added touches for today’s home and woman. We live in a time that is a marvel; just think about it! In a relatively short time, it is similar to going from caveman to space traveler. We have instant information at our fingertips, on-demand entertainment, GPS that tells us how to go wherever we need to go and every product available to make our lives simpler. From calculators to computers, we have it pretty good. The trade off for this ease of lifestyle seems to be the lack of confidence in ourselves and looking for easy answers elsewhere. There are products for everything, from washing machine cleaners to special wipes for stainless steel. Break free from the dependence on others and give yourself credit for the gray matter between your ears. You can do this! From ceiling to floor, we loved the results and rejoiced over our newly found time-tested, home-made, green and inexpensive cleaning and laundry recipes. As for the quality and benefits of this lifestyle, all we can say is wow! We were amazed to realize just how effective these homemade recipes really worked and many times out-performed the modern pricey products. Talk about quick, easy and convenient. All it takes is a trip to another room in our house to get the cleaning items needed to do a cleaning chore. No more running to the store for window cleaner or laundry detergent.
